Proposal

T1 - Mature Beech - This tree is situated over the main building and exabits a large hollow with obvious signs of fungal activity. Upon closer aerial inspection the cavity is extensive. Given the trees location and the associated fungal fruiting body found it is recommended that the tree is removed due to the risk of failure at the noted decay point within the main stem. Request removal to near ground level.T2 - Mature Beech - Overall the tree is lacking in canopy vigour with dieback starting to 1 progress. The tree divides into two main leaders at approximately 2.5 metres which supports large scaffolding limbs. On the northern side at approximately 2.5 metres there is the emergence of Laetiporus within a cavity. This cavity is located on the eastern main leader just above the union point. The main union points itself appears to be compromised with included bark which extends down the main stem by approximately 1.5 metres, this can be seen better on the southern aspect. In addition to this poor union point another fungal fruiting in present which show its progression through the main stem. Secondary limbs within the trees main structure feature cavities, but to a smaller degree then the one present at the main union point. Request removal to near ground level.T3 - Mature Beech - The tree is in a poor physiological condition with and large amount of dieback in the crown, limited foliage. Ivy around the main base restricts a full detailed inspection of the area. Request removal to near ground level.
